The GRO records do not have Tamer's date of death under her name; they misread her name as James and this is how it is recorded. In the 1851 census Tamer is a visitor with Eliza and James Finn in Hinx>hill. I believe James's brother is Reuben Finn who married Tamar's mother's sister Eliza; is it possible that Tamar was passed round the family and at this time was with her aunt's brother-in-law? Kit>ty's step mother Drucilla is married to Richard Orman in the 1851 census with three sons and grand daughter Harriet Finn age 7 born Kingsnorth who is the daughter of Eliza and Reuben Finn thus confirm>ing the link between Eliza Finn, nee Swaffer, and Drucilla; the link to Tamar is still conjecture but is persuasive otherwise why else would Tamar be with them except as an act of charity to a bastard> relative? Tamar's mother Catherine/Kitty is, I believe, working for Daniel Swaffer age 30 born Kingsnorth and no relationship is claimed.
